Mural at Mosaic Church in Cary, NC




So glad that I was invited to paint murals at a lovely little church in Cary called Mosaic. I am almost done with all four rooms and hallway. Here are some images of what I have done so far. I will display my contact information at the church, so hopefully people become interested in my work and ask me to paint in their home! :) For more info on the church, visit: http://www.mosaicchurchcary.com/

HOW TO: Pendant Necklace

So happy that my very first instructional video is complete. In this video, I demo how to make a pendant necklace. A big THANKs to Michelle Mohr for her mad skill in recording and editing!!
Can't wait to make another one. I just have to think about what to create next...

Giving Barrettes a try...and I like it!




I don't care if a little 5 year old girl should be the one wearing these...they make me smile! Cute little barrettes are now up on my Etsy shop.

Also, check out the new magnet sets! Some have 3 or 5 magnets to a set and are all grouped by their color or textures. Happy little things! These babies are also up on www.amyscreativecorner.etsy.com.

Change of Plans....And More Custom orders




So, like many across our nation, I was laid off last week from my graphic design/training course development job. At first, I was upset and wondered what was next for me...how will I make money?!? A few tears later, I realized this may be a blessing...I could focus my heart and soul into my business and grow Amy's Creative Corner.

And so I have! I have been working hard to promote my work, making new flyers, adding pieces to my Etsy shop, and other ways of getting my name out there. I have worked on a few custom orders since last week, including some gifts for my friend Ashlie's baby shower. I created "Thank You" stationery and a monogrammed baby blanket for her unborn baby girl, Hayden.

Take a look a what is new on my Etsy shop: www.amyscreativecorner.etsy.com Let the creating begin...even more so!
